2010's Death at a Funeral is the American remake of the long-forgotten, years-old 2007 movie of the same name. That's correct - by the time this remake entered multiplexes, barely three years had elapsed since Frank Oz's British original hit cinemas and found cult success. The twist (if it can be called as such) is that this American version featu... read more

When I rented this movie, I thought one thing, "black jokes". After the first 10 minutes I kept thinking that, but when everyone arrived at the house, it started to be very spontaneous and funny. There was really something for everyone, my favorite was James Marsden, who played cyclops in the x-men series. He was just high the whole time, and really made me crack up. Tracy Morgan was also very fun... read more

N.B. When I was watching this, I didn't actually realize that it was a bastardized (black!) American remake of something superior and British. I mean, I realized that it was a black family...you know how you say "flesh and blood" for "family", well....

Anyway, all I can do is say thank you to all our black brethren out there, for letting the euro-trash and British brats know that if... read more

Aaron's father's funeral is today at the family home, and everything goes wrong: the funeral home delivers the wrong body, his cousin accidentally drugs her fiancé, and Aaron's successful younger brother, Ryan, flies in from New York, broke but arrogant. To top it all off, a mysterious stranger wants a word with Aaron.

“I wasn’t sure what to expect from this movie but since I have a weak spot for Neil LaBute’s work, I was still eager to check it out. Honestly, I find it really difficult to review this flick. Indeed, I have seen the original British version only a couple of months ago and both version are almost identical, except that this time, it takes place in the United States with an all-star black cast. Furthermore, I thought that the original movie was not bad, but still nothing mind-blowing and, quite frankly, rather disappointing. Unfortunately, this remake was not better, as a matter of fact, it was even less good. At least, there was a rather impressive cast (Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence , Tracy Morgan, Zoe Saldana, James Marsden, Luke Wilson, Keith David, Peter Dinklage, Danny Glover, Regina” read more

Anyway, all I can do is say thank you to all our black brethren out there, for letting the euro-trash and British brats know that if they wanna make fun of America, they're gonna hafta make fun of the black man too. (And the black man can do that better himself anyway, and get monies for it, lolz.)

The film was the sort that I got invited to watch by a (then) relative, and it was the sort of movie I watched without being especially regretful or thankful. Uncle Russel (Danny Glover) was kinda awesome, and I liked the litt” read more

"Why was this film remade? Why can't the Americans just let us have our comedies? Why do they have to steal all of our ideas? Why would James Marsden and Danny Glover degrade themselves in this movie? Why can't they try something original for a change? And when will Chris Rock realise that he's really not all that funny?
Please take my advice all avid film and comedy fans if anyone out there is interested in watching this film STOP!!!! Go out and find the original and watch that. I promise you i"
